Hello!

Have you guys seen this little baby?

I'm not sure how much it is on it's own. A definite buy for SFF case I think.

Yes, but the general consensus was that it's not really worth much as it sticks out farther from the GPU than low-profile adapter cables.

The adapter has capacity for 2 8-pin connectors. I'm not sure that it's appropriate for cards that only require 1 8-pin or 6-pin. Plus the fine print for the promotion requires you to pay S&H separate from your card. EVGA's cards also don't seem to blow the PCIe spec out of the water like some other AIB partners, so I'm not worried about getting mine plugged in when I pull the trigger on my build.

I think I'm going to get one of the off chance there's proprietary low profile connectors inside I can teardown to get at : )

Also worth mentioning is you can change the adapter configuration to suit your card, so you're not locked into 2 x 8pin

Hmm that makes in interesting, I wonder how they address that.

 

[Kmpkt]

They outline it in the info package attached to the contest. It looks like they've done a custom pin device and have tracks for + and - that you screw them into.

Ah yes now it makes sense. A decent system by the looks of it, atleast for the swapping connectors part.
